Heart Hunting novel Chapter 114

The Bailey Law Firm was functioning normally.

Knock, knock, knock!

The knock on the door interrupted Poppy's work.

“Come in”

Wythe Lynn's assistant, led by a secretary, walked in Poppy’s office. Seeing that it was him, Poppy raised the corner of her mouth and put down her pen, "Did Mr. Lynn ask you to come over?"

The assistant nodded and placed a file bag in front of her, "This is what Mr. Lynn asked me to send over to you."

"Didn't he have a message for me?"

This made Poppy a little surprised.

"He said he'd reach out to you. Miss Green, since I have done what I should do, I'll be off."

Not long after the assistant left, Wythe Lynn called. Having the a million RMB check in her hand, she answered the call, "Mr Lynn, what do you mean by giving me the check?"

Wythe Lynn said in a straight forard manner, "Miss Green, that check represents my sincerity to you with regard to the bet we got. I am willing to admit I lost the bet. The check is considered to be the stake in our bet, because I am not going to make an imprsssion by immitating pig squealing. Always give people an out and don’t push them too hard. I believe Miss Green should understand such a simple truth."

Poppy placed the check on the table and leant back, "Since Mr. Wythe is so sincere, of course I'll accept it. I hope we'll still have the opportunity to discuss cases with each other in the future."

"We surely will have many such opportunities. Goodbye!"

Poppy got a windfall from Wythe Lynn, which was out of Poppy’s expectation. But his ability to creep as well as soar was indeed admirable.

A million RMB!

Poppy flicked the check and the crisp voice made her delightful. She glanced at the clock and it was nearly lunch time, so she dial the in-line, "Claire, I have just gotten a windfall. I'll buy you lunch today!"

"Okay, Miss Green!"

After tidying up the things on her desk, Poppy and Claire picked up their bags, and left the office.

While reaching the parking lot, she quickened her pace when she saw something wrong with her car from afar. Claire saw it too and quickly followed Poppy.

A big “DEAD" in red paint was written on the front of her brand-new car.

Even the back of her car was splashed with a big puddle of red paint.

Poppy was calmly observing the whole car and stood there, thinking. Her eyes looked calm.

Claire understood that it was inevitable for a lawyer to offend people. But pouring red paint so blatantly indicated the culprits were bound not to be weak.

Poppy cleared her mind and asked Claire not to touch the scene. Then she called the police and called the security office to retrieve the surveillance video.

Police came quickly, took pictures and collected evidence. They even brought back several red-painted tissues next to the car for testing.

"Miss Green, we'll take the surveillance video back and watched it. We'll call you first if we find out anything."

The policemen said to Poppy before they left.

"Thanks."

When the police left, Poppy called some people to take the car to get cleaned.

Only after all this had been dealt with, did Claire ask,

"Miss Green, what should we do now?"

"Go for lunch, and wait for news. Do what you should do, and don't be affected by this.” Poppy replied

She acted calmly throughout, not showing a bit of panic.

Poppy clearly knew who did this.

Claire couldn't help admiring Poppy. If this kind of things happened to any other women, they may be too panic to know what to do. But Poppy was able to stay calm and handled all of thisproperly. She really was courageous.

Poppy chose a nearby Michelin restaurant. They chose the table next to the curved French window with excellent sunlight. The incident did not affect her good mood. She handed the menu to Claire, "Order whatever you want to!"

"Goddess, can we eat whatever we want?"

Noel saw Poppy from afar, so he quickly folllowed her, and pulled out the chair unceremoniously to sit down.

Claire saw the two of them, Noel and Ives, greeted them and looked down at the menu.

Poppy looked at Noel with rare generosity, "Yes, order whatever you want."

Ives sat down, and said,

"Noel, it looks like your firm is treating Miss Green very well." Ives said.

Noel hadn't answered yet, but Poppy replied,

"I have just gotten a windfall out of the lawsuit."
